Norwegian Jewel Review

Additional details
Just got home today and had a great time. It may have helped that we were in The Haven, because the treatment was way above the normal cruise experience. Butler, huge suite, concierge, special places to eat, always first on, first off, reserved seating at the shows, etc. If it gets better than that, I'm not sure how.
Normally plan way in advance, but not this time. Booked on the 7th and left on the 10th. Never had a butler before and didn't use him. Although we did get snacks, tea sandwiches, canapes, cheese and crackers, etc every day around 3:30 (like we needed an afternoon snack), but it was nice.
By booking the Haven suite we were entitled to a $300 on board credit, unlimited dining in the fee restaurants of which there are several, and the alcohol beverage package which is up to 15 drinks priced at $10 or less every day for each of us.
Cabin Review
Courtyard Villa with Balcony
AMAZING. Look for a good deal. You won't be disappointed. I would highly recommend doing the Haven once for the right price which is less than half the advertized price. You've got to be able to move quickly to get a good deal and go when it's available. Two really good weeks were Jan 10 and Jan. 17. I haven't seen anything later that comes close to the price we paid. And there were still some empty suites on the Haven level.The suite is updated with beautiful wood and tasteful furniture. There is one huge bath wtih separate shower, tub and toilet and double sinks and there is another bath as big as any normal cruise cabin has and it is in the second bedroom. The second bedroom is small and would be very tight for adults, but it has a pullout couch and an overhead bed that folds down from the wall. There is a small closet with three drawers built in and room for about 8 hangers. It has it's own tv.There are 4 tvs in the suite. You walk out your door and across the hall is the door to the Haven. There is breakfast and lunch served every day in the Haven which has a very small pool, hottub, 2 exercise machines and a staircase to a private suntanning deck with comfortable furniture. The afternoon has cookies an cakes for snacks. Also, the valet John, will do everything he can to make your week a very special vacation.
